Concerns for Percy

While in some ways I have more power and control than any of the other moderators, that's simply because I'm the site owner and the programmer. That doesn't, in my mind, make me king of the moderators. I'm afraid I cannot help Ken with AdminAsgara. My suggestion to Ken is that he take AdminAsgara up on her offers to engage in a dialogue.I'm afraid all I can do to help with the PROOF OF GOD thread is suggest that participants try to stay focused on the technical details. It isn't unusual for it take a consideral time to resolve issues where so many numbers and ways of examining them are involved. Take it one small step at a time.Added by edit: One thing we've been missing for a while now is a Creationist moderator. We haven't had any since Tranquility Base and TrueCreation went civilian. Ideally there would be several Creationist moderators, but if we get one it's a start. Perhaps the Creationists here could make some nominations for the current moderator core to consider.This message has been edited by Admin, 06-23-2004 10:02 PM

Hmmm. Not sure I see the connection myself. The criteria for columnists (write something interesting that will spark discussion) and the criteria for retaining access privileges (follow the guidelines and moderator requests) are not the same. The offer to Ken to write a column is still open.I'm sorry you're unhappy with the moderation in your PROOF OF GOD thread. When arguments aren't working, sometimes it helps to find better arguments, sometimes better arguers, sometimes both. And sometimes you just have to walk away.

Offering to engage in a private email dialogue represents a committment to enter into a sincere discussion.

I think you're thinking about this too much. I know Asgara would like to reach a better understanding with you through a private email dialogue.

The raison d'etre of EvC Forum, that which we hope differentiates it from other Creation/Evolution discussion boards, is to provide an environment conducive to productive discussion and illumination of the key issues. We have made good progress toward these goals, and we hope very much that it continues.EvC Forum members are requested to give serious consideration to the suggestions and requests of moderators, whose mission it is to help EvC Forum achieve its goals. All viewpoints are welcome, but they must be presented in a manner consistent with the Forum Guidelines which the moderators are bound to uphold.The moderators' responsibility is to the larger membership, and while fairness to individual members is always a key goal, it is understandably rare that a member subjected to moderator action will himself think he is being treated fairly.This message has been edited by Admin, 09-03-2004 08:12 PM
